Throw out the traditions and stress so that you can spend your wedding day celebrating your love story in an epic way. Nestled in the heart of South Carolina's most scenic landscapes, my lens is your passport to an elopement experience filled with thrill and intimacy.  My goal with photography is to capture that feeling of exploring a new place for the very first time - freezing it to be shared and relived over and over again. I want to help you plan the most adventurous day whether that be an elopement, engagement, intimate wedding, vow renewal, bridals, honeymoon session or couples shoot. By choosing to work with me, you can expect - a styling and planning partner, texts/phone calls whenever you need it, adventure and creative ideas, and of course, continuous guidance throughout the entire process and after. Let's start your next adventure!

Natural + Real photography: I understand that you don't want your whole day to feel like a big photoshoot. That is why I focus on connections & storytelling instead of posing. While I give you guidance using prompts, my goal is to capture authentic moments that truly show your love.
